In the U.S. construction industry, performance certification is not just a formality—it’s a legal and commercial requirement. For any window or door system used in new residential or commercial buildings, NFRC certification plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance, energy efficiency, and quality assurance.

At KDSBuilding, all our aluminum, PVC, and wooden window and door systems are NFRC certified, meaning they have been independently tested and approved to meet U.S. energy and building code standards. This certification gives builders, architects, and developers full confidence that KDSBuilding products deliver consistent performance for every project.

 What Is NFRC Certification?

NFRC stands for the National Fenestration Rating Council, an independent, nonprofit organization that develops standardized testing and rating systems for windows, doors, and skylights in the U.S.

Each NFRC label provides verified performance data for four key ratings:

These values are critical for compliance with IECC, Energy Star, and state-level energy codes like Title 24 (California).

 Why NFRC Certification Matters to Contractors and Builders

1. Compliance with U.S. Building Codes

Nearly all U.S. states now require NFRC-labeled products to obtain energy code approval. Using uncertified windows can lead to permit rejections or inspection failures, delaying projects and increasing costs.

NFRC-certified windows help contractors:

Pass state and local inspections easily

Meet LEED and Energy Star program requirements

Ensure building performance consistency

2. Assurance of Tested Quality

Every NFRC-certified window or door is tested in accredited laboratories following ASTM and AAMA standards. This guarantees:

Verified thermal insulation performance

Verified solar control and air infiltration data

Long-term reliability and warranty protection

When working on government, hospital, or school projects, NFRC certification is often mandatory for approval.

3. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Builders using NFRC-certified windows deliver measurable energy savings to property owners. Proper U-Factor and SHGC ratings help:

Reduce HVAC load and electricity costs

Maintain interior comfort

Lower environmental footprint

For northern U.S. regions (cold climates), a low U-Factor (<0.30) is essential. For southern, sun-exposed regions, a low SHGC (<0.25) helps control solar heat.

4. Boosting Reputation and Market Value

Contractors and developers who use certified, tested products gain a stronger reputation for quality. In competitive bids or design-build tenders, showing compliance with NFRC and Energy Star standards can give you an edge.

Wholesalers and retailers can also differentiate their brand by promoting NFRC-certified windows, which homeowners increasingly request when remodeling or upgrading their homes.
